I am having an annoying sound issue with my oculus quest 2. The audio content was completely distorted and people’s voice become low tone like the fake/ masked hacker noise you hear in the movies. And there is a static noise comes with it. I tried play sound with different headphones as well as the oculus native speaker and this issue won’t go away.
Hey there @XiaoMing866! Thanks for reaching out. We completely understand how it feels to have issues with your audio and we have a few steps we can recommend.
Does this only happen on the default Quest 2 speakers?
Does this only happen in a specific game, or is it consistent across multiple games?
Have you tried other headphones?
Re-boot the headset
With your headset on and powered on, press and hold the power button on the right side of your headset until you see the Power off screen.
Select Restart. Your headset will turn off and then turn back on.
Factory reset the headset
Turn off your headset.
Hold the power and volume (-) button on your headset down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Factory Reset and press the power button.
Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Yes and press the power button.

Hey Daniel! We totally understand having the sound glitch out on your headset is concerning and it's strange you're having an issue with your sound. If you say it's happening both on your Quest 2 and on a separate pair of headphones it might not be the Quest 2 though. We'd suggest you check your wifi connection and make sure there's no connection issues either wired or wireless. Let us know if the issue gets solved or if you need more assistance from us!

I am having the same issue with my Meta Quest 2 recently after I updated my Meta Browser. When I watch a movie with the browser, the sound of the movie gets distorted after 5 minutes, if I switch to another page and come back again it would be normal for another 5 minutes.... I highly suspect this is the issue with the browser.......

Yes, I've tried the steps including factory resetting, updating to the latest version, etc.
It started off well until a few months ago after an explorer version upgrade, the issue began appearing. It could be temporarily fixed by switching to another explorer page such as YouTube or a new page, and about 2 minutes later the issue reappeared, then I had to do another page switch.
A few weeks ago, it got worse as the page switch workaround no longer worked. It used to be that when switching to a YouTube page, the film sound stopped and the YouTube sound started (only one page could have sound). Now, or most recently, there is one sound per page (two sounds), and the film sound is permanently distorted.
I'm happy to provide more information to get this solved and enjoy the VR world more.
